A short anthology of horror stories aimed at the YA reader.
includes:
# Secret Terror Pete Johnson
# 25 Battleground Stephen King
# 43 The Vacancy Robert Westall
# 57 The Twitch Guy de Maupassant; trans. by Anthony Horowitz
# 65 Freebies [Call-Back] Laurence Staig

# 97 The Werewolf Mask Kenneth Ireland
# 111 Eels John Gordon
# 125 Jonathan Harkers Journal from Dracula [Dracula] Bram Stoker
# 131 Bath Night Anthony Horowitz
